Frequently Asked Questions

Is veterinary care in Tijuana safe for my pet?

Yes. Our partner clinics are modern, specialist-staffed facilities with the same medications and equipment used in US clinics. We vet every clinic personally, and your pet is never out of our care during transport. Read about our safety standards

Do I have to cross the border myself?

No. You drop your pet at one of our San Diego meeting points (National City or Chula Vista). Our coordinators handle the border crossing, clinic visit, and return. You never leave San Diego.

How long does a veterinary appointment take?

Most appointments are same-day. Drop off between 7-9 AM, pick up between 1-4 PM. We call you twice: once during check-in (you speak with the vet) and once during checkout (results and aftercare).

What paperwork is needed?

For dogs returning to the US: a microchip and CDC Dog Import Form. We handle the CDC form ($5) and verify your dog’s microchip. Cats have no border requirements. Full requirements
